A hotel developer picked up a 30,000-square-foot site in Miami’s West Brickell neighborhood for more than $6 million.

Hotelex Brickell acquired four vacant properties in two transactions recorded at the beginning of August, according to Miami-Dade County records. The parcels are adjacent to the Homewood Suites Miami-Brickell under construction at 1750 Southwest First Avenue. The buying company is tied to William Hammani, a Venezuelan developer who recently relocated to Miami.
